Venus and the Triply Ultraviolet Sun

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Last year, Venus transited the Sun, an event that occurs when Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth. The Hubble Space Telescope captured this event in ultraviolet light. During the transit, Venus appeared as a dark spot against the Sun's disk. This rare alignment allowed scientists to study Venus's atmosphere.
